VARSITY GIRLS SOCCER
At 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, it was pouring rain and Ida was knocking on the door, but the Weather Gods shined down on GSoc and the rain stopped in time for the girls to kick off at 4:30 p.m. versus visiting Lakeland.

GSoc is returning 16 players to a senior-heavy roster of 24 girls. Seniors are Molly Byrne, Sophie Card, Carly Elbaum, Katie Evanko, Kaylin Genda, Megan Glasser, Jillian Gordon, Jessica Ji, Hallie Rackoff and Avery Schwartz. Serving as captains of this year's squad are Genda, Gordon and they are joined by junior Sydney Mikesell.

It took a bit of time for both teams to get in a rhythm and there was a lot of possession being exchanged. Molly Byrne came in as GSoc's first sub and her speed was evident as she was able to beat out Lakeland's defense to through balls. At the 35-minute mark, junior Ramsey Edson, controlled a ball in the middle and gave a beautiful feed to Byrne who finished the play for her first varsity goal.

Greeley took the 1-0 lead into the half.

Byrne continued to mix things up on offense. Junior Fiona Brown controlled a ball out of her center defensive position and was able to get it forward to a streaking Byrne, who once again converted for goal No. 2.

Greeley held on defensively, which proved to be more challenging when the skies opened up with 10 minutes left to play.

Greeley gets their first win of the season, 2-0. Genda had a total of 5 saves for the clean sheet.

GSoc returns to action on Friday at Byram Hills at 4:30 p.m.

The next home game is Thursday, Sept. 9, at 4:30 p.m. versus Ursuline.
VARSITY BOYS SOCCER
The Greeley Boys’ traditional curtain raiser ended in a 2-1 defeat against Byram Hills. The match began following a brief but touching ceremony in honor of Casey Taub led by Coach Camp and Mr. Taub. Greeley took the field sporting a 4-2-3-1; Hutchings, Mancini, Walsh, Damon, Shofaro, Perez, Katz, Xiang, Shropshire, Margolies, Larizza. Greeley was able to close the gap to Byram in the second half through Margolies after going down 2-0 in this non-season opener.

The first game of the season saw the Quakers take on Harrison in an exciting game that ended in a 0-0 draw. The only alteration to the starting line-up saw Gershman replace the suspended Mancini. Greeley and Harrison played out a very high intensity match which saw both teams miss a number of clear cut chances. However, it was Greeley who pushed Harrison early on claiming the midfield and stifling any of the forays from Harrison. The second half saw much of the same but also the Quakers start to tire. The game went into extra time where Harrison grew into the game but neither team was ultimately able to claim all 3 points. Nevertheless, the Greely Boys certainly put on a very brave show with standout performances from Walsh, Katz, and Perez. Hopefully next time they will be rewarded with a win.
VARSITY VOLLEYBALL
Greeley started the season with two losses, but gave Eastchester a battle on Thursday afternoon in the home opener.

Eastchester won in four sets, 25-18, 21-25, 25-23, 25-19.

Greeley trailed 6-0 in the second set, but rallied to tie it at 13-13. The Quakers then took a 17-15 lead, prompting Eastchester to call a timeout. The Eagles needed another timeout with Greeley leading 23-21. Greeley got the last two points to take the set and tie the match at 1-1.

Greeley had leads of 13-6 and 17-15 in the third set, but couldn't hold on.

Greeley pulled to within 19-16 in the fourth set before Eastchester closed it out and took the four-set win.

Freshman right side Chloe Snyder finished with 14 kills, 14 digs and two aces, junior outside hitter Elizabeth Fallon had 17 digs and 8 kills, junior setter Emma Rose had 33 assists, 10 digs and 3 kills, senior libero Nyssa Bhattacharyya had 22 digs, and senior outside hitter Ryan Guglielmo had 10 digs, 4 aces and 3 kills.

Greeley opened its season on the road Wednesday night against Somers. The big crowd was loud and enthusiastic.

Greeley had a 19-17 lead and then a 23-20 lead in the first set before Somers rallied to take the set, 25-23. Greeley again got out to a lead, taking an 11-6 advantage in the second set and forcing Somers to call a timeout. Somers, however, rallied to take a 17-14 lead and eventually won the second set, 25-17. Greeley battled throughout the third set. Snyder, who got the start in her varsity debut, had two straight aces to pull Greeley to within 22-19 in the third set before Somers got the last three points to win, 25-19.
